Harvey. He was a Jew, after all.

It's an arts thing in general. No matter how pleasant a person a theatre director may be out of the rehearsal hall, there's almost always a certain level of intimidation, belittling and emotional abuse thrown at you in the room. The exceptions are more notable than the rule.

What about dairy based pasta sauces which contain cheese? Shrimp and salmon in particular pair well with alfredos, and Lobster Mac and Cheese is the most delicious diarrhea you will ever have.

And a friend's just a stranger you think you know.

If Jellyfish reunited, I'd be there in a heartbeat. And Fastball is a curious case: critics pretty much believe they got better after their fame, with "The Harsh Light of Day" and albums thereafter being better than the ones with hits… but they had no hits from them.

Murphy would be a great director for it, but I think he reads as too black, too male, too straight and too virile for the intentionally enigmatic Purple One. Prince was all of those things, but a certain liminal ambiguity about all of it was key to his image and appeal- "Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay?" he…

Yeah, but it's the Lin-Manuel Miranda space-reggae tune that's just him and J. J. Abrams grumbling to music.

Ever sing "The Flintstones" to the tune of "The Munsters?" Do it right now.

I know Brian May was attached to music for the Spider-Man franchise in the 90s, but he may have been working on a UK project.

I've always liked Elfman's theme in context of the visually exciting opening credits to that movie; however, based purely on sound alone, I always thought his "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" opening credits sounded more like Spider-Man than "Spider-Man's" did. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Duddits Hears a Who

I could see Grant better as a member of the Hellfire Club- for Sinister, I would guess a variant on youngish Aryan perfection. Alexander Skarsgaard or Martin Wallstrom.

True Showbiz Tales #20: I love "Ultimate Werewolf," and have been working off and on with Bezier Games on developing a stage version of the franchise. Unfortunately, I have to keep putting off the contract to sign for exclusive stage development rights, because I don't currently have a troupe of my own, and an…

Now that you put it that way, "witty Hollywood memoir about mental health and feminism in showbiz by quirky bisexual podcast artist/voiceover actress/thinkpiece writer Mara Wilson" DOES kind of sound like a mousetrap designed to catch AV Club subscribers.

Tig Notaro can go there but doesn't live there the way Wilson does. Listening to Notaro as the Sentience Embodiment of the Universe on "Adventure Time" was pretty ASMR.

And I just want to say "Mara, I know you have done musical theatre and I want to write a lead role for you Off-Broadway, so just let me know your vocal range and a few songs that suit your voice well already, and I'll start building a new show based on those parameters."

I hear they're getting Adele to sing the Grinding Song at the Inauguration this year… couldn't they get an American to do it?

Pi 3 running RetroPie handles PS1 extremely well- nearly as well as using an actual PS1.

Perhaps those backstories would be more interesting and valid if a new rule were instituted: "Ninjas who fail will be put to death."

But will you walk away from a fool and his money?
